Do you agree with the view that Wolsey's fall from power was mainly the result of Anne Boleyn's hostility towards him? By Jessica PotterI agree with the view that Wolsey's fall from power was mainly the result of Anne's hostilitytowards him. This is because of many things that happened during the time period such ashis failure to get an annulment for Henry VIII.Source 4 also agrees with this view. Source 4 is basically at the point where Anne Boleyntold Wolsey to forget it and stop trying to get them an annulment because he obviouslywas getting nowhere and it wasn't working. Source 4 says, "...caused me so muchsorrow...". This shows that Anne Boleyn has had enough because it is saying that Wolseyhas caused her so much sorrow and she doesn't want it anymore. Source 4 also says,"...betrayed by a man...". This shows that Anne feels like she has been betrayed by Wolseybecause he said he was going to do something for her therefore she trusted him and he haslet her down and she feels betrayed. In terms of reliability source 4 is very reliable. This isbecause it is a personal letter between Anne and Wolsey. This means that there is noaudience for anyone to act in front of or exaggerate to, it will all be truth.Source 5 also agrees with the view that Wolsey's fall from power was mainly the result ofAnne Boleyn's hostility towards him. This is because Anne wouldn't promise to speak to theKing for him. The source says, "...not promise to speak to the king for you...". However sheisn't directly saying she won't speak to the king, she is saying that she isn't making anypromises that she will. However the source also disagrees with the statement to. This isbecause it isn't only Anne, no one would dare talk to the king for Wolsey. Source 5 says,"None dares speak to the king on your behalf for a fear of Madame Anne's displeasure." Thisshows how much influence Anne had on not only Henry but everyone as now no one willdare speak to the King for Wolsey in the fear of Anne. Source five is a very reliable source asagain it is personal letters and again the is no audience to act infront of and its comingdirectly from them.Source 6 disagrees with the fact that Wolsey's fall from power was mainly the result of AnneBoleyn's hostility towards. This source is making it seem like it was Henry's decision with noinfluence of a Anne. This is because source 6 says, "Henry had lost faith in his formerservant." This is showing that it was Henry who just lost faith in him after he had achievedwhat Henry had been wanting which was an annulment and also Wolsey caused the collapseof Henry's anti-Habsburg strategy. These are what Henry described as, "His two greatfailures...". However source 6 isn't as reliable as the other sources. This is because theother sources were personal letters whereas this source is from a book published in 2001.Personally I do agree with the statement that Wolsey's fall from power was mainly theresult of Anne Boleyn's hostility towards him. This is because Anne had such a great andpowerful influence over so many people.
